" PULLAR & NIVEN HEAVY FINE FOR POOL ROOM OWNER Carmelo Assessed $25 and Costs for Allowing Minors to ‘Loiter in His B Place of Business, Ruling that a canviction of this type calls for a substantial penalty as a lesson to others, Judge James T. Mes- kill, in the police court today, fined Dorato Camelo $25 ‘and costs for vio- lation of the statute-relative to allow- ing minors to loiter about a pool room. Upon the advice of his counsel, Attorney George LeWitt, the accused entered a plea of guilty and the hear- ing was consigned to a statement of facts. There was no testimony that ‘other than straight pool, and na gam- bling, was played by the minors found in Carmelo’s barber shop and pool- room at 227 North street, when Ser- geant William C. Hart and the pa- trolman on the beat called about two weeks ago. Attorney LeWitt pleaded for leniency. Upon his Tequest, Car- melo was given several days’ leeway In payment of the fine. Julius Lawrence of 80 Booth street and Paul Supko of 80 Gold street were fined $5 and costs each for assault upon Michael Ronanauk of 26 Gold street last Saturday night. Rona- nauk’s overcoat was torn. The evi- dence was conflicting, some of it com- ing as a surprise to Attorneys J. A. Glover and A. A, Greenberg, who ap- peared for the defense. Differences relative to garbage col- lection resulted in the arraignment of Harry Furman of Newingtan, garbage collector, charged with assault upon Morris Witkin of 287 Elm: street. Furman was fined $5 and costs with bonds for an appeal set at $100. At- torney P. F. McDonough appeared for the defense. It was testified that Wit- kin had complained to the health authorities alleging that his garbage had not been collected for two weeks, Furman answered the call in person, Instead of sending his men, and there was an argument in which the con- tents of a garbage can were scattered mbout. Several blows were struck and Witkin received a lacerated hand from a shovel in the hands of Fur- man. Harry Witkin, a son of theé complainant, testified that Furman hit his father and caused much amuse- ment when he predicted that the ac- cused would not have been in court to tell of it, had he taken the younged Witkin as his victim. Joseph Skinner of Main street was committed to the state farm for in- ebriates. He was arrested by Sergeant W.-C.

Just get a jar of Tesinol ointment and a cake of resinol ! neap at any store. With the resinol soap and warm water bathe the affected parts thor- oughly, until they are free from crusts and the skin is softened. Dry very gently, spread on a thin layer of the resino! oint- ment, and cover with a light bandage— if necessary to protect the clothing. This should be dome twice a day. Usually the distressing itching and burning stop with the first treatment, and the skin soon becomes clear and healthy again. Choosing Your Shampoo Soap If you select a soap that contains soothing, healing properties like the resinol balsams in resinol soap, you are not likely to have trouble with dandruff, loss of hair or itching scalp.

Already these armies are reaching out toward each other, testing various parts of the lines and attempting to discover the, most likely point of contest for the beginning of the titanic struggle that is expected to make this the de- cision year of the conflict. In an- ticipation of eventualities, the Ger- mans-have removed the civilian pop- ulations from the cities. and town in proximity to their line but such pre- caution has not been felt necessary behind the allied front. Never silent, the British guns are beginning to roar more and more steadily. Tonight they are booming with particular vio- lence in the sector of the Somme. From a distance the bombardment might easily be mistaken for the grumbling echoes of a passing sum- mer storm. The chorus of guns rises and falle like great peals of thunder and there are flashes in the darkened sky like the play of lightning .along the horizon. Germans Re-arranging Army. New groups of divisions have been recently been identifled along the German lines, bearing out reports of great troop movements now going on in Germany. British officers, how- ever, say that these movements are not as formidable as it appears at first sight. They say that many of the so-called new divisions of their opponents are merely a re-arrange- ment 0f old divisions. These state- ments are based on information care- fully collected during the continuous trench ralds. In a raid undertaken this week an apparently new Bava- rian division was located. It was aft- erward discovered that his corps had been made up from regiments taken from older divisions, namely, the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh. Another maneuver carried out by the Germans has been a combining of regiments and divisions by which groups of twenty-five of the youngest men were taken from each company in the line and sent back to Germany to form noew units or corps de’elite. British officers believe that it is on these corps de’elite that Field Marshal Von Hindenburg is placing his great- est reliance. According to the information ob- tained here the groups in the com- panies have not been filled and the diminution in numbers have been covered in some instances by reducing infantry regiments from four battal- ions to three. One infantry company was recently encountered with a rifla strength of 72 out of a regulation company of 175. Landsturm regi- ments recently have been identified on the front line. They had formerly been employed in patrolling the Dutch frontier and protecting lines of communication. According to prisoners the men of the landsturm are trenches while those unfit hardships of the firing line duty at the depots in the r« Tt ing the landsturm battalions in this way permits the organization of the young men divisions in Germany gnd pleked in the for the are on l m_g&%.

Many boys of seventeeg and eighteen also have been found in the German trenches by the British raiders. Germans Consider Front Impenetrablc The British staff is keenly interest- e¢d in a report that prior to the dec- laration of unrestricted submarine warfare by Germany, Field Marshal Von Hindenburg stated to Chancellor Von Bethman-Hollweg: “Everywhere our front is invulner- able. The supply of reserves is am- ple, the troops in good spirits and ab- solutely reliable.” The British point qf jview Is that the last three words of this statement constituted an ad- mission that doubt were .entertained in German circles as to the reliability of their troops. There is no disposi- tion, however, to underestimate the resisting power of the Germans. The evacuation of Grandcourt by the Ger- mans and other minor successes won by the British in their initial opera- tions are interpreted as meaning that the Germans are prepared to give way at some points in order to fall back on main lines of defenses, thht have not been destroyed by bombs and shells after the manner of so many of the present front trenches. Artlllery is looked upon as the de- ciding factor in the coming battle, and upon artillery the British have been devoting their energies. The nstant thundering of the British guns all through the long, dark win- ter has had a greater meaning than a ‘casual scattering of death and de- struction. It has meant the careful training of officers and men in all the modern ‘arts of gunnery, delicate tim- ig and placing of protective curtains of fire just in front of advancing in- fantry, to the most skillful co-opera- tion of airplanes and guns in the hurling of long distance shells against selected targets far behind the Ger- man lines. There is a grim realfzation of the fact that it will be tedious work try- ing to blast the Germans out of their main lines of defense, but British and French commanders are confided their predications that they eventually force the fighting inta open., COURT FROWNS ON RE-OPENING CAS Judge Meskill Warns Bond Forfe Will Be Closed Chapter in Future, It is not going to be as easy i future to secure the re-opening cases in which bonds have been clared forfeited through non-apyf ance of the principal, even if t fense of a misunderstanding or d causes is entered. This was made by Judge James T. Meskill in p| court today when Attorney Greenberg, as counsel for Wadi} Karmerskj of 140 Grove street, ar| for a re-opening of the case in w Kamerski was accused of breach o peace and caused forfeiture of bonds through non-appearance a required time. After much consid tion, Judge Meskill agreed to ri the case and, upon the suggestjo] Prosecuting Attorney George W. H set Monday as the date for a he: He, however, gave a warning that leniency will not be shown with d cases where bonds are forfeited. Prosecuting Attorney Klett said the court has beeh made a “joki too long by those who attend at own convenience and apparently little attention to attending at time summoned. He argued i re-opening of the Karmerski case. Attorney Greenberg claimed there were excusable circumstan that his client does not unders English and misunderstood the mons to court. Also that he was a little late, instead of remaining altogether and that was due to his children being ill. It would be a h ship, he argued, for a man cef his wages to have to make good $100 bond. | You cannot afford to buy potash at present enormous prices, but it essential to fertilize.
